Master Chen glanced at Mrs. Ye's, put it aside, motioned her to sit down, and then flipped through the stack of papers handed in by Ellie page by page.
That serious appearance made Zhang Jiali uneasy. She silently asked the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless her to pass today.
"Did you copy it?" Master Chen asked lightly.
"Yes." Although master Chen didn't have any expression on her face, she put great pressure on Zhang Aili and finally spit out a word.
"Ziqing, prepare pen, ink and paper. We asked her to write a few words on the spot to see if it was the same as these handwriting." Master Chen stared at her for a while, and didn't speak to Ye Ziqing until there were red beads of sweat on her forehead.
"I'll go." Huang Haoning, who sat on the sofa watching the play, immediately stood up and walked to the study.
"Please." Huang Haoning not only brought pen, ink and paper, but also moved a small table. After laying the paper, he made an invitation gesture to Zhang Aili.
Zhang Aili's face was pale. She never expected master Chen to do this. She knew that as long as she picked up her pen, she would reveal her fillings. It seemed that she couldn't escape this time, but she didn't dare not write. After all, her son's future was still in the hands of others.
Zhang Aili held her pen hard to write, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't write a decent word on the paper except for a bunch of ink.
"Tell me, who copied these?" There was no wave in master Chen's eyes, but Zhang Aili was frightened and speechless for a moment.
"If you don't tell me, let me tell you that your daughter drives them out every night. You have a filial daughter." Master Chen said faintly, "but you shouldn't take my words as a breeze in your ears. Not only did your daughter copy the book, but she didn't even give up meat. She ate whatever she wanted. During the Chinese new year, she also ate meat and had a greasy mouth. She was very happy."
"How do you know?" Zhang Aili was frightened. She didn't copy the book. It can be seen from her handwriting, but she didn't quit meat. How did he know?
"You don't need to know how I know. According to what I said before, if you don't comply with the regulations, double the punishment once and quadruple the punishment twice. Go back and copy the women's commandment and women's training 800 times. Of course, it's still the old rule. You can't eat meat before copying. If you violate it, you don't have to copy it. I'll find a good source for your son." Master Chen waved them away.
"My mother-in-law passed the test?" Zhang Aili stubbornly asked.
"Your mother-in-law and your husband are more honest than you. Although Mrs. Ye's handwriting is a little poor, she wrote it one stroke at a time. So is your husband. He has been a vegetarian since that day, so she can pass this time."
Master Chen's tone was still the same plain, but for Zhang Aili, it was like throwing a big thunder. They didn't expect that he really understood their every move.
Ye Zhiguo secretly called out "luck". If he wasn't afraid of his mother's sadness, he might not be able to bear it. Especially during the new year, not only did he have meat at home, but there was no meat on any table even when he went out. He was afraid that he couldn't help breaking the precept. If he could push others for a treat, he would say good-bye to his host, He has a bad stomach and can only eat vegetables to avoid being served with vegetables.
"Thank you, master Chen. From today on, can my son eat meat?" Mrs. ye turned a blind eye to Zhang Aili's double punishment: she had advised them for a long time, but they didn't listen. Instead, she laughed at her timidity. She not only didn't dare to ask for foreign aid, but also copied it by herself, and forced Ye Zhiguo to be vegetarian. Of course, in order to show her sincerity, she also insisted on being vegetarian.
Although Mrs. Ye doesn't care about Zhang Aili, she hopes they won't implicate her son and grandson.
"OK, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just be polite to our family in the future. You gave up her at the beginning and don't want to touch her in the future." Master Chen warned them again.
"We know." In addition to being taught, ye Zhiguo didn't dare to say anything at all, and didn't dare to plead for Zhang Aili. Zhang Aili, who was unwilling, left the Ye family.
Zhang Aili threw several bowls at home to vent her anger. She scolded Ye Zhiguo for her incompetence. She had to watch others bully his wife. Then she reluctantly took out her paper and pen and began to copy books. When ye Ziyu came back, she knew something had happened when she saw her mother's crying face.
"Mom, what's the matter today?" Ye Ziyu sat next to her and asked attentively.
"Master Chen may be possessed by a ghost. He knows everything we do at home." Zhang Aili said bitterly, "no, I'll be punished four times. I'll copy the women's commandments and women's instructions eight hundred times, and I can't eat meat before I finish. Isn't that my life?"
"How could it be? It can't be what you said wrong and inferred by him?" Ye Ziyu jumped up in fear.
"No, we didn't say anything at first. We just handed over the copied things to him. He took a look at your grandmother's and put them aside. Mine looked carefully one by one. Later, I asked if I copied them myself, and I only returned a 'yes', so what you said didn't exist." Zhang Aili shook her head.
"Later, he asked me to write in front of them. The handwriting was wrong. Then he said that you copied mine and that I had a filial daughter." With a bitter smile, Zhang Aili said the later things all over.
"It's no wonder that ye Ziqing's evil words have been so good in Kyoto... It's no wonder that they have been so abnormal in that year."
"Don't say a few words, and don't provoke Ye Ziqing in the future." Ye Zhiguo thought of master Chen's mystery and couldn't help but scold them. "Also, Zhang Aili, copy the book yourself honestly. Quit meat and fish these days. Don't bother your son."
"I see." Zhang Aili promised dejectedly. What else can she do if she doesn't comply? "Ye Ziqing is not a good thing. With such a strong backing, why didn't you say it earlier? It caused us such a big loss?"
"Huang family's backer is not big? Jiangbei war, how many of them are not strong enough? Who is to blame for your bullying? Also, I heard that she has been engaged to Jiangbei war. She will have a wedding after graduation. She will have Jiang family's backer in the future, so you stay calm, otherwise, don't blame me for not protecting you." Ye Zhiguo sneered and said that he wanted to harm others. Unexpectedly, he finally lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot.
"Is she engaged to jiangbeizhan?" If ye Ziyu stepped on the cat's tail, he jumped up, "where does she deserve lawyer Jiang?"
